Pretty remarkable after a 5-4 start to the year. 6 weeks ago, being a 3 seed felt like a large hill to climb.

NET: 4th
KenPom: 4th
EvanMiya: 4th
BartTorvik: 4th

With a Q1a away game to end the season against Kentucky on Saturday, it really seems like they control their destiny

The NCAA will find a way to keep us out. They'll claim the head-to-head game with UConn being the difference. Even though that should have been the difference between us and Auburn last year....

Either way, I don't think it matters much to be the last 1 seed or the first 2nd seed. The 2 seed would give us more of a chip on our shoulder.

NCAA is run by UAA infiltrators like Tealer, who will try to punish Gator success no matter what

There are 5 #1 seed caliber teams this year: Duke, UM, Arizona, UCONN and Florida.

The arguments between UCONN and UF as the last #1 are pretty close, but Florida absolutely deserves to be in that mix and can absolutely compete for a championship.

I think UCONNVICT has to lose another for Florida to jump them. As you know, the SEC tournament won’t mean jack when it comes to seeding. I would imagine Florida and UCONN would be in the same bracket?

I'd say I'm convinced based on last week.

Uconn shouldn't be a 1 seed. They haven't been playing well for a few weeks.

You can argue you prefer other teams, but they're 27-3, 8-2 against quad 1 and 9-0 vs quad 2.

I actually agree that Florida should be the final #1 currently, but UCONN is certainly in the mix.

I would rather the Gators be a 2 seed in the South than a 1 seed in the West.

UCONN and UF will be the 1/2 seed in the South region, so we’re most likely going to play them in the Elite 8 anyways. Sets up well for another run.

I mean, the wins are mostly SEC teams being propped up by artificial ratings, it's cool though. Tournament will tell everything
